File pointers

File pointers

[SiliconJesus]

I was wondering if there is any command that will reset the pointer of the
file to the head of the file, I was trying to read in data of sizes
10,50,100,500,1000 from a data file size 1000, I ended up reading in the
1000 and just sending in bits of the array to my procedures, the text I
have Ada95 by Feldman is very weak in talking about files, so any on-line
references would be greatly appreciated.

The procedure Reset moves the file pointer back to the beginning of the file.
